Hello,
So here I am back again starting from square one. I recently had a miscarriage followed by a D&E. I was very loosely swaying and we were going to stay team Green. However after our loss we read the results and discovered it was not a good sway as it failed. So this time we’re cracking down on our girl sway. I’m starting at 129lbs I had gained quite a bit as I started at 107lbs (I lost a ton from breastfeeding) but due to being recently pregnant and eating whatever I wanted I started swaying at 129lbs but I know with working out and diet changes (no more snacking like usual and no red meat plus way less meat) I’ll drop quickly. I'm down to 126lbs already.
I am now over two weeks post surgery so I just started cardio. Been walking daily pushing my 18 month old in the stroller for at least an hour waljing3 1/2-4 miles or doing 1 hr on my exercise bike. I’m starting back at the gym in October going to be doing high fit, Barre and yoga classes along with doing my bike at home or walking more pushing my daughter in her bob stroller. I did this with my first successful girl sway and feel it was a huge contributor to my success.
I am hoping my normal cycle returns quickly but at least by December as I would like to start trying then. If AF does not return normal by beginning of Dec. I’ll start using OPKs at the beginning of the month until I get a positive one however long that may take.
As far as diet this is where I wasn’t crazy strict. Counting will give me anxiety and will in my opinion raise testosterone levels for me. I also can’t track salt and didn’t ever add salt but I know I ate high sodium foods with my daughter. I am not eating until at least 12 most days closer to 1. Having black coffee with 2-3 equal packets in the AM then another most days usually in the early afternoon.
I’m kinda struggling with meals this is kinda what I did with my first sway that was successful….most days I had lunch and then dinner but depended on my exercise as if I did a work out class and cardio at home I would be starving and need something between dinner.
Brunch around 12 - Cream of wheat with equal as sweetener (usually I would use brown sugar) with a piece of toast (usually just white bread or a whole wheat cinnamon raisin English muffin) or a bowl of vanilla yogurt or Greek yogurt with granola, strawberries and blueberries, or a bagel with butter.
Lunch- salad with just ranch or balsamic vinaigrette sometimes with a handful of shredded cheese or if I’m out I sometimes get chipotle burrito bowl or burrito salad bowl or one or 2 bean and cheese burritos from Taco Bell if we’re going fast. At home sometimes I would do hummus and pita bread with some fruit or eat like two eggos with just butter. Or fruit and a string cheese.
Dinner is the hard one as I have three young kids and it’s hard to make separate foods plus my hubby cooks a lot.
So tonight I had tacos with ground turkey instead of with ground beef like my hubby and kids did. I try to have meat only once a day or skip it if I can get away with it. We sometimes do spinach and cheese tortellini with broccoli I won’t put chicken on mine. With Alfredo sauce. Or if we do burgers I do a mushroom veggie burger that’s only 3grams of protein instead of a beef patty. We do pork tenderloins I only will eat two small slices and we do either rice or potatoes with salad and or a veggie.
I am craving sugar always so I do a small bowl of rocky road in the evenings after kids go to bed (not every night) I did this with my first sway also.
Drinks- coffee once or twice a day, diet drinks diet squirt, diet Mountain Dew, diet Dr Pepper, lots of crystal light and then just water.
I am usually a big Starbucks refresher gal so I stopped those. What do u recommend as far as Starbucks goes? Like if I am out and want a coffee? Like a latte? How should I alter it to not totally mess up my sway? Or do I need to just get hot/iced coffee plain? Also with dinner I sometimes had a glass of white wine usually Kim Crawford.
Supplements:
DW: folic acid or folate and baby aspirin (I have to take when trying and my entire pregnancy’s as I have a blood clotting disorder. I am breastfeeding only once in the morning but my dr. Says low dose aspirin is safe for me while nursing. Also I used the Arbonne daily fiber added to my coffee and or in my cream of wheat. They changed formulas do you have a recommended brand to add into either my coffee or cream of wheat daily? I think the fiber in refried beans, cream of wheat and my added supplement helped a lot with my sway also.
DH: Olive Leaf Extract (do u have a brand you recommend?) also he took in pill form our first sway but should he do a liquid form instead or is pills ok? Anything else you think will help?
DH: trying to get him to lower red meat (he did this our first sway though says now he snuck burgers a lot at work) he usually skips breakfast and sometimes even lunch, he drinks lots or rockstars, he’s overweight, has high cholesterol, smokes, salts the heck out of everything like so so much salt, he was walking a lot at his job like a crazy number of steps but he's been between prejects and hasn't been lately. New project starts next week but will be slow for a while, other then that no physical activity. He is a frequent release guy and will do whatever I ask in that area (abstain or release daily up until attempt) what do u recommend on this?
We will be doing one attempt at first equal to lines on the OPK. With my daughter I thought we were out that month as it was 4 days before O and hubby went out of town. But that was our successful month. Also that month I was hard core gym doing classes two weeks straight with lots of extra cardio right up until attempt.
I also meditated at least once a day with first sway as I’m a high anxiety mom and a yeller. I also used lavender oil, lotion, body wash and tried to stay calm as much as possible. I am going to start using my salt lamp extra, my blow dryer a lot more, pulling out my tiny fountain for my bathroom for the running water again to help calm me. Also wearing crystals to help with calming and grounding me.
Sorry I know it’s a lot. Please let me know if you think this is a strong enough sway? Thank you!
